A MAN is to stand trial next year following an alleged XL Bully attack which reportedly injured a woman and another dog.
John McFarlane is charged in relation to an incident which prosecutors say took place in a common close on Regent Street on May 10.
The 33-year-old denies allowing the dog, to which the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 applies, to be in a public place without being muzzled and kept on a lead.
McFarlane has also pleaded not guilty to a second charge which alleges the dog was dangerously out of control as it attacked a woman and bit her on the body to her injury.
The Crown claims another dog was also injured after the XL Bully ‘clamped on to’ it.
McFarlane, of Royal Street in Gourock, is due to stand trial on March 24.
